2010 Toronto municipal operating budget - Why[edit]

Toronto is the largest city in Canada, with a budget more than the GDP of several provinces. Please explain why 2003–04 NHL season meets the notability criteria, and critical information about the budget does not. There are wikipedia articles about baseball player cards, and xmen characters, and we have to explain why an article about one of the worlds largest cities should exist. Have you read the article before placing the tag? --Natkeeran (talk) 20:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was not saying that the subject is definitely unnotable, only that the article at present relies solely on primary sources, and independent unbiased references should also be cited to demonstrate its notability. As for articles about baseball player cards and xmen characters, feel free to tag them as unnotable. . . Mean as custard (talk) 20:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some secondary sources. However, primary source is key here, because it is a government budget, and the government provides the stats, just as NHL provides stats about its season or games. --Natkeeran (talk) 20:26, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article still doesn't show why the subject is notable; as it stands it is just a list of figures, with no commentary or explanation, e.g. how the budget was arrived at, historical background, public reaction. . . Mean as custard (talk) 20:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a wiki. Article is supposed to be developed through collaboration. You indicated that the topic is not unnotable. This is very valuable information for at least the 5 million people living in Toronto. --Natkeeran (talk) 15:09, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
